Tips:
- Ensure the eggs are well-beaten to incorporate air, making the omelette fluffy.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelette from sticking and ensure easy folding.
- Add the cheese just before folding the omelette to melt it perfectly without overcooking the eggs.
- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning the butter and ensure even cooking of the eggs.
- Experiment with additional herbs or toppings like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms to vary the flavors.
